Abstract: Dimensional analysis, superposition principle, and continuity of electric potential are used to study electric potential of a uniformly charged square sheet at its plane. It is shown that knowing the electric potential on the diagonal and inside the square sheet is equivalent to knowing it everywhere on the plane of square sheet. Behavior of electric potential near the center of the square is obtained. Then exact solution for the electric potential at any point on the plane of the square sheet is obtained. This result is used to calculate the electric potential of a right triangular sheet on its plane which can be used to find electric potential at any point on the plane of any uniformly charged polygon sheet.
